Sadly there is no SP-X class Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage GT3 in the listing for this weekends final round of the 2018 VLN Series from the Nordschleife.

With the cars baptism on the toughest race track in the world at the previous round two weeks ago well and truly made, the teams new car will see out the week testing with its customer teams around the UK as it was today at Snetterton.

That being said, Nordschleife rookies Ross Gunn and Chris Goodwin return for the second leg of their GT3 Permit application process again in the AMR Performance Vantage GT4 entered in to the SP8 class.

They will be joined by the Avia Racing crew with their Vantage GT4 that competes in the SP10 class (same cars but AMR do this so that they do not compete directly against their customer team) after thankfully seeing out the previous round of the series through to completion after a number of early DNF's.

Saturday's race starts at 12 noon (local) after qualifying earlier in the morning.
